Andrew Pollack, the father of Parkland mass shooting victim Meadow Pollack, addressed the Republican National Convention in a taped video.
(CNN)Monday night at the Republican National Convention, Parkland mass shooting victim Meadow Pollack's father, Andrew, made an appeal for President Donald Trump's reelection in a taped video.

Last week at the Democratic National Convention, Parkland victim Jaime Guttenberg's father, Fred, was the Floridian to cast his state's delegate votes for Joe Biden during the roll call.

Pollack spoke to "the President's commitment to keeping American children safe" during his taped appearance.
"He listens, you know? It just meant a lot to me that he listened and he followed through. He could've just taken a picture with the dead student's father and did nothing. But he's not like that, President Trump. He's had me to the White House in different meetings. He truly cares," Pollack told CNN.
"Just last week he mentioned my daughter's name at a press conference. With the world on his shoulders, he's thinking about my daughter," he added.
"Behind every failed policy that led to my daughter getting killed was some type of unethical Democrat in Broward County," he said.

........................


"How many schools, how many children have to get shot? It stops here with this administration and me. I'm not going to sleep until it is fixed. And Mr. President, we'll fix it. Because I'm going to fix it. I'm not going to rest," he continued.
The fathers have since taken divergent political paths with the common goal of ending gun violence.

When you have a person who lost his child at Parkland put the blame on "some type of unethical Democrat in Broward Country"

This is no longer about the safety of our children. This is a hard core right wing republican

That he doesn't acknowledge that the republicans have controlled most of the political agenda in Florida, and chooses instead to blame it on Democrats, just demonstrate how brainwashed these people are

Mr. Pollack, the dismantling of the gun laws in Florida was done under republican endorsements

1. Which Party has made domestic Assault weapon proliferation possible?

Why, it's the NRA owned GOP. nt

8. Yes, it was the republicans who blocked renewal of the assault weapon ban. This guy

has drank the koolaide

[NightWatcher]

15. repukes give them out as raffle prizes. Nuff said

[Faux pas]

2. WTFF?

and

11. My exact thought

[mnmoderatedem]

18. yeah no shit

wonder if that dad can name a single initiative trump has undertaken on the subject

[Aristus]

3. Yeah, I'll bet he was thinking about your daughter, you crap hound...

What a stupid fucking idiot...

4. He and his son have been vocal gun-humping wingnuts since the shooting

They were BEFORE the shooting.

12. Thanks for that information. That he blames the Democrats for his daughters death is

outrageous

If he is looking to blame someone, perhaps he should take a hard look in the mirror

5. Pollack unfortunately had drank the Kool-Aid long before his daughter was murdered.

He reportedly arrived at the emergency scene wearing a MAGA hat. So that tells you enough about him.

One of these days, he's going to come to a sobering realization that the man he trusted so much doesn't give a single shit about him or his daughter.

Sadly, that has not happened yet.

But it will.

10. Really? unbelievable. As for you speculation that one day he may wake up. I doubt it

If his daughter's death, which he blames on the Democrats didn't do it, nothing will

[world wide wally]

6. If those kids just had guns in class with them....

[The Wielding Truth]

7. Sad. Did the lose of his daughter warp his perspective on reality? Blaming a Democrat is weird.

[still_one]

9. He supports trump, fine, but to blame his daughter death on the Democrats just shows

how messed up he is

[The Wielding Truth]

14. Seems so. It's sad and dangerous to rev up the radical base to blame the people who want to protect

the country from gun violence.

[Eid Ma Clack Shaw]

17. I have an element of sympathy for these people

With its fulsome embrace of Trump, the GOP has dropped the pretence that it has devolved into into a cult. It’s inconceivable to me that anyone see Trump as a competent and indeed virtuous leader, but it’s now arguably the world’s most powerful cult, and cults are hard to break free of.

[JI7]

20. No, he was always a right winger and Trump Supporter

[justgamma]

13. I really want to know

what the orange anus followed through with. What did he do to help?

[SharonClark]

21. He should be asked that in an interview.

He’s pathetic. Trump gives him a hug and says his daughter’s name and it increases his love of Trump. He’s like puppy whose been given a nice pat on the head and a treat. Did he also kiss Trump’s ring?

[BannonsLiver]

16. His speech was praised

But I thought it was quite awful. His anger and hate make it nearly impossible to feel empathy even though he lost a child. At least that’s how it made me feel. I thought he was an asshole, especially with that cheap wannabe tough Guy diction.

[Luciferous]

19. He sounds delusional- really, Democrats are the reason kids are getting shot in schools?!
